Deccan Delights

The food was absolutely mouth-watering. We started with the Miryala rasam (soup) since my wife and I were feeling a bit under the weather, and it really helped, super comforting and flavorful.

For the main dishes, we ordered the Chicken Fry Piece biryani and Apollo fish, and both were excellent. The biryani was very fragrant with flavorful fried chicken pieces, and the fish was incredibly soft and packed with spices. Just a heads-up: the dishes are quite spicy, so be prepared if you’re sensitive to heat.

For dessert, we tried the Gajar Ka Halwa and Gulab Jamun, and they were a great way to end the meal. Highly recommend!

Customer service: Called to order take out last night, staff who picked up was incredibly rude, after we ordered he just hung up on us without giving us any time estimate, we called again to ask for the time and he said “20 min” and hung up right again, zero thank you or goodbye whatsoever. When we went to pick up the food, assuming the same staff was there as he was the only one front of the house, he kept chatting with the couple in front of us despite seeing that we’re waiting in line and our food was sitting on the counter, it wasn’t until the couple noticed us behind them that they apologized and moved out of the way. Absolutely zero customer service and very rude staff.
Food: got andhra chicken curry and mugalai mutton, both were sooooo salty, almost inedible, portions were smaller than other restaurants, only reason why it’s 2 stars instead of 1 is because the meat was well cooked and not dry.
Overall: not recommended at all, it’s so close to our house with great reviews so we were excited to try but very disappointed

Nice small restaurant and food taste is good. Loved their Vijaywada chicken Briyani. The restaurant was busy and perhaps more servers could have handled to take the orders faster. Chicken DD Special was awesome.

It was overall a good experience. We ordered Andra chicken, Garlic Naan, Mutton mughalai. Andra chicken is more like a roast than a fry, but it was spicy and had a great blend of masala.Garlic naan was crispy and the mutton mughalai had a nice strong taste of cardamom. Overall we are very satisfied with the food. But the service was a bit under the mark. The waitress is not updated with items available in the kitchen. It would have made sense if the restaurant was crowded but at that time it was mostly empty. And also, we had ordered mango lassi but they forgot to give it to us. And when the bill came, it was added. So we let them know we didn’t get it. They apologised and said they could give it to us then, but we declined as we wanted it along with food. All things considered, we are satisfied as the food was good and the staff was polite. Will come back again.

Superb food here! Especially all the mutton dishes. Their chicken lollipops ( without the gravy-dry) is superb. Good dosas. Cannot go wrong with any biryani. I miss their Haleem- it was the best of downtown ottawa for when they did serve it.
